What are Facing Pages, and how do I add them?

Facing Pages are pages you insert opposite your script pages — for storyboards, notes, overheads, reports, floor plans, or anything else you want next to each script page. Add them via the Page Manager: blanks, images, fillable reports, custom PDFs, or templates from Scriptation's Library.

📝 NOTE: Facing Pages is an Industry Pro feature.

How Facing Pages work

A Facing Page is inserted before each script page, displaying in front of it. When you turn on Two-Page view, Facing Pages appear to the left of each script page — perfect for keeping notes, storyboards, or floor plans visible alongside the script as you work.

If you'd rather have your Facing Pages appear on the right, see How do I put facing pages on the right of my script?.

Adding Facing Pages to your script

Facing Pages are managed inside the Page Manager — the birds-eye-view of your script.

Tap the Page Manager icon on the Top Toolbar.

Tap Edit.

Tap Add.

In the Add Page window, choose the type of Facing Page to insert. You can Select Source Document to use a file from your storage or from Scriptation's Library, pick a blank page, take a photo, or choose from a variety of templates. After making your selections, tap Add as Facing Pages.

The selected page type is now inserted before every script page.

📝 NOTE: Page 1 is treated as a title page, so Facing Pages aren't added before it. To put one there, copy a Facing Page and paste it before page 1 in the Page Manager.

Tap Save to confirm the new pages.

⚠️ HEADS UP: If you exit the Page Manager without tapping Save, your changes won't be applied. Always tap Save before leaving the Page Manager.

Adding Facing Pages to Sides

If you're adding Facing Pages to a Sides file, lock the Sides first, then add your Facing Pages. Adding them before locking can mix up which pages Scriptation treats as script pages, which can stop Lining from working.

Facing Pages and Note Transfer

Facing Pages can shift when you transfer to a new draft. If your production issues locked pages as color revisions, Facing Pages carry over much more reliably, and you'll only need to add new ones when A-pages come in.

Facing Pages work page by page, like using the back of the previous printed page for notes. You can't line up a note on a Facing Page with a specific line on the script page next to it.

Customizing your Facing Pages

You can use any source as a Facing Page — images, PDFs, blanks, or Library templates. For specific walkthroughs:
